30/06/08 - With the release of patch 3.17, we are able to re-open Epic Fifteen - Colonization. It will run for five weeks. There are also some updates to the page. Results are up for Epic Nineteen - Arise Ethiopia!, Adventure Twenty-eight - The Dutch Masters, and Adventure Twenty-nine - Winter Wasteland. I've also updated the Succession Games page to show the current games that are open.

09/06/08 - Epic Twenty - Bakumatsu opens today. Can you help the Japanese avoid stagnation?

13/05/08 - I had to go out of town unexpectedly, so Adventure Thirty - The Simple Life opens today. Sorry for the delay! Results are also up for Epic Eighteen - Honest Abe.

28/04/08 - Epic Nineteen - Arise, Ethiopia! opens today. This Epic will explore the advanced start mechanics. It's also reporting day for Adventure Twenty-eight - The Dutch Masters.

07/04/08 - Our newest Extreme Adventre, Adventure Twenty-nine - Winter Wasteland, opens today. Good luck! Results are also up for Epic Seventeen - Gourmet Menu and Adventure Twenty-seven - Project Beyaz Peynir.

26/03/08 - We're having another midweek opening this week for Adventure Twenty-eight - The Dutch Masters. It's a gentle adventure focused on culture. Will you be the next Rembrandt?

25/02/08 - Contrary to previous reports, today is not Presidents' Day here in the USA. However, it is opening day for Epic Eighteen - Honest Abe. Reporting is open for Epic Seventeen - Gourmet Menu, and the results pages are all up-to-date.

11/02/08 - Adventure Twenty-seven - Project Beyaz Peynir opens today. It's sponsored by Ruff_Hi, and will run for five weeks. Sullla has come up with a little Presidents' Day special for us as well. Epic Eighteen - Honest Abe will open on Monday, February 25.

Adventure Twenty-six - Holiday Surprise closed last week, and the results should be up on the site soon. Also, there's still one more week to go for Epic Seventeen - Gourmet Menu; probably not enough time to cook something new, but you might want to be adding the final few seasonings to your games.

16/01/08 - Sullla is sponsoring Epic Seventeen - Gourmet Menu. You will get to pick your entree for this meal! Hopefully that will be perfect with our lighter 2008 schedule. Please note that you will need to email Sullla to sign up, and that the game will open on a Wednesday, not a Monday. Enjoy!

01/01/07 - Happy New Year! Adventure Twenty-six - Holiday Surprise is now open. Enjoy! It's also reporting time for Epic Sixteen - Something Fishy. Because of the holiday, you can post your report through the end of Wednesday if you need the extra time.

28/12/07 - Sullla has put together a little something for you - Adventure Twenty-six - Holiday Surprise has been wrapped, and the package is in the mail! Tracking indicates that it should be delivered on Tuesday, January 1st (that's right, holiday delivery at no extra charge!). What's inside the package, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait until you open it up to see!

Results are up for Epic Fourteen - Boudica the Great and Adventure Twenty-five - Doppelgänger as well.

27/11/07 - STOP THE PRESSES! We want everyone to be aware that Epic Fifteen is currently on hold due to a game-destroying bug. As sooooo states in this thread:

It appears there is a significant bug to the 3.13 patch regarding colonies that neither myself or Sullla were aware of. Namely: If a civ has been wiped out then a new colony will assume the status of the wiped out civ (i.e. at war with the civ to wipe out the previous one). If you wipe out a civ, and create a new colony, it will not be at war with you but any vassals/previous colonies you have will be at war with you (and break free from you). If any AI creates a colony it and its vassal will become at war with you and your vassals (or whoever wiped out the extinct civ). Also any cities you own that belonged to the now extinct civ will yearn to join the motherland of the new colony. Basically this stops you having more than one colony without losing your previous ones, hence ruining the epic.

Because of that, we have decided to put Epic Fifteen on hold for the time being until we have determined the best way to move forward with this idea. When and if the game is restarted, it will be on a new map with a new save. We're sorry to any of you who have spent significant time playing this one already, but there is no fix available that would still allow us to provide players with comparable playing experience.

Sullla has put together Epic Sixteen - Something Fishy, which will open right away and run through the end of the year. We hope that you like sushi!

19/11/07 - Sooooo has sponsored Epic Fifteen - Colonization, which opens today and will run through the end of the year. It's also closing day for Epic Fourteen - Boudica the Great, so go ahead and post your reports for that game. Results are up for Adventure Twenty-four - It's a Wonderful Life too!

05/11/07 - Adventure Twenty-five - Doppelgänger, a gentle adventure, opens today. Whatever you do, make sure you have fun with it. It's also reporting day for Adventure Twenty-four - It's a Wonderful Life. Results are up for Adventure Twenty-three - Speedy Gonzalez (unfortunately, not enough information was provided to tally points, but finishing dates and links to reports are up) and Epic Thirteen - Potluck Expansion.

15/10/07 - Well, that was fast! It's reporting day for Adventure Twenty-three - Speedy Gonzalez. Also, results are up for Adventure Twenty-two - Brick by Brick. We've also posted the world builder file for Epic Thirteen - Expansion Potluck.

08/10/07 - Finally, the patch is here! Now, where were we? That's right, Adventure Twenty-four - It's a Wonderful Life and Epic Fourteen - Boudica the Great are now open. Remember, you must patch before playing either game, so you might want to finish Speedy Gonzalez first. Also, the Succession Games page is again up-to-date.

Just a note- Adventure Twenty-four is a four-week game, not a five-week game (it was incorrectly marked before). If you were planning on going down to the wire, you may have to adjust your schedule.
